Our neighbor's bamboo (they didn't plant it--a previous neighbor did) is now growing under their fence into our yard. Do you think 3 ft down is deep enough? Also, it would seem that sheet metal would be more resistant? Concrete could eventually crumble? Thanks for your thoughts.[/quote]

Concrete can crumble - you'll see bamboo pushing its way through concrete and asphalt all over the place, once you've fought the battle for a while.  But I think the idea is that concrete can limit the bamboo growth until it starves itself and stops trying to infiltrate your yard. (Bamboo is everywhere, it's horrifying.) Sheet metal should work. And 3 feet should be enough. Once we eradicated everything above ground in our yard, we've had some decent success with patrolling the fence line for culms and keeping every inch of our yard mowed to within an inch of its life. We saw fewer shoots this year than last. Depending on what we see after winter, we'll keep going as we are, or we'll trench our entire yard. [/quote]
